My intellectual capacity or in this case your notion that I lack intelligence has nothing to do with the fact that I just referenced my point in 3 different online sources with differing contributors and then quoted a reference stating that your argument was completely off base. Smart or not, I just reinforced my point and annihilated yours. I have no idea why you feel the need to antagonize me as a result of it and I really don't care.

Do you realize that "chitterlings" is just a word for an internal organ? It's not a recipe. There's no way to trace the preparation of this to Africa because where would you look? Slaves were imported from Gambia to Namibia and would have encompassed thousands of different tribal cultures, whereas it's well known that the Spanish imported the first pigs to America with Hernando de Soto.

Your problem is seeing the consumption of pig intestines as something special to that backwater shithole region you live in. Do you even own a passport?

Oh, I should also mention she prances around WeHo and South Beach in tight shorts walking her chihuahuas. Major cha-cha queen! Oh, and that ex-boyfriend of hers is very Staten Island and inflates his buttocks with silicone before selling them on the stripper pole.

I was eating some "Potted Meat" as I was reading about the chittlins. Anyone had that? Very gross looking, but actually good on a cracker. It has all that tripe. They spin the unwanted meat and what sticks goes in the can I think.

Edited to say another company calls it "Deviled Ham" I believe, but I don't think it is as good.

eww, that stuff is nasty just like canned vienna sausage and spam. We only ate that when camping in 3rd grade, an activity much like fishing that I've only done once in my life. You're more of a country bumpkin than I thought, tedderz.

Ohhh, I love that stuff, the one in the white wrapper with a devil on it is the best, I think it's Underwoods. But you gotta mix mustard in it.

Update: It is Underwoods. I just pulled a can from my pantry. Interesting side note, on the label it says "Awarded Chef's BEst award- Chefs best award is given to brands highly rated overall by independent Professional Chefs".

I have some vienna sausages and SPAM in my pantry. I think I like SPAM better cold with some mayo on bread instead of fried. I don't eat this stuff all the time. It has soo much salt in it. I probably eat it every 6 mths.

Nothing like a good can of Spanish tuna (especially the Bonito del Norte kind). Once you have this everything else becomes cat food.

WASHINGTON (AP) - ConAgra Foods is recalling all Marie Callender's brand cheesy chicken and rice frozen meals after they have been possibly linked to a salmonella outbreak in 14 states.

The company said it was recalling the meals after it was informed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of a possible link between the meals and 29 illnesses. Eight of those sickened reported eating the product in April or May 2010.

The Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service, which announced the recall late Thursday, said the most recent illness was reported May 22....

thanks for that tip. I just checked and luckily all the cans in my cupboard are okay.

I've already eaten a few other cans of spaghetti-Os later and having been using those emptied, cleaned cans to cover up the tiki torches by the pool. I'm not going to go look at those codes. Since none of those cans killed me, it doesn't matter if they came from the undercooked lot or not.

Although that could be a great story about how my hardworking <300 tcells fought off the evil killer Spaghetti-O Meatballs.

Do you scribble the date of purchase on canned goods like Gran Gran used to?

LOL Nope

the "bad" code was "EST K" and mine were "EST R",so I didn't even have to worry about the dates.

but I am trying something my Granny did used to do. I'm making a batch of "bread-n-butter" pickles out of all the cucumbers I just picked out of my garden this week. Damned Home Depot mislabeled some plants and the cantaloupes turned out to be cucumbers, so I'm got more cucumbers coming in than I can shake a stick at.

Nothing wrong with meat in a can. If I want a few bites of octopus or squid I'm not going to defrost and cook the whole damn animal, I'm going to quickly open a little tin from Spain. Galletas con pulpo is one of my favorite snacks, sometimes I make it for parties too but crackers laying down take up a lot of space.
